These were the juiciest fish tacos I’ve ever had! And the spicy mayo ~ well that just took it over the top! My family and I recently went to North Carolina to my brother-in-law’s wedding (congrats Sean & Simone)! While there, we ventured out and happen upon this restaurant called Bakersfield East Blvd. We had no idea what to expect because we just stumbled upon it. The staff there were super nice and quickly recommended the short rib tacos as the all time best! So we did and WHEW they were DELISH! And as always when I happen upon a really great anything to eat I day dream about, how to go home and recreate it with my own spin! I decided to go with fish tacos to make it healthier and broiled the fish instead of frying it! I went with the spicy mayo, well just because I love spicy mayo! Honey let me tell you, these were some of the best darn tacos I’d eaten EVER! And YES I am patting my own back, you will too, if you try this recipe!

Spice Up Your Winter Sex Life: “Turn Up” Tea Recipe

My husband has been working long hours…like REALLY long hours since returning to a traditional kitchen. He usually works about 12 hours at a time depending on what’s going on. When he gets home, I am either in the middle of my second dream or too tired to do anything more than say hello. The afternoons are usually a good time for both of us to exercise our freedom to be spontaneous because he’s got to sleep in a little, the baby is napping, and the older kids aren’t home from school yet.

I wish I could use that, “I’m tired” from working at the house all day, or that “the kids have been too much, I’m not in the mood” excuse. Friends. That man doesn’t want to hear any of that. He works just as hard if not harder. Those afternoons when I know it’s going down, I make a little “turn up” tea in the morning, by lunch time, its ready. I guess you would compare it to a Winter Sangria. It’s loaded with aphrodisiacs and sure to put a little spice in your winter sex life!

“Turn Up” Tea

(Makes about 2.5 quarts)

4 bags Pomegranate Tea

2 quarts of water

1 in. piece of Fresh Ginger, peeled

1 Cinnamon Stick

½ c. Honey

1 Green Apple, diced

1 Pear, diced

½ c. Pomegranate Arils

Juice of one Orange

Juice of ½ Lemon

1 Orange, segmented or sliced

A few thinly sliced pieces of Ginger (optional)

1 ½ c. Red Wine

In a saucepan steep ginger, cinnamon stick, and tea bags, to prepare tea to desired strength. Add honey until dissolved. Add more if you like it sweeter. Let cool. In a small bowl, toss fruits in lemon and orange juice. Add fruits, and wine to tea and let chill. (Or serve warm if you’d like. It’s cold outside. You know it’s cuffing season. 😉

Happy New Year!

BMWK, what day this week will you make this tea?
